Mission: The mission of the “Restore the Constitution” rally is that it be held at a firearms carry-legal location as close to DC as possible and that it attracts as many participants as possible in order to underscore the seriousness and urgency of a simple message:

Restore the Constitution!

See the planning/networking site Muster Outside DC 4-19-2010 for updates and planning discussions on possible locations.

Details: Staging area will be Ft. Hunt National Park, located about 12 miles south of DC. Participants will gather there, and a speaking program will be provided. From there, participants will have the opportunity to travel in small convoys up to Gravelly Point Park so they can “step up to the edge.” Gravelly Point Park is right on the Potomac, about a mile from the National Mall in DC.

Scope: 4-19-10 rally at Gravelly Point Park, Virginia 10:30AM to 5 pm, although park hours are from 8 AM to dark. Gravelly Point is, based on research so far, the closest carry-legal location to DC, although Ft. Hunt will need to be the initial staging area and rendezvous point. Participants can arrive at Ft. Hunt as early as 9AM to get started, and the main speaking program will begin at 10AM, as the convoys begin going back and forth between Ft. Hunt and Gravelly Point.

Is it just coincidence, or deliberate planning that this and the Second Amendment March are at the same time? I hope the turnout for both is great enough for the congresscritters to take notice. Best of luck,Robert FowlerIowa State CoordinatorSecond Amendment MarchOath Keeper

Fort Hunt is public property. I am a citizen who wishes to be protected from morons like you whose sole purpose in having guns is to be able to kill innocent people. I live in Farifax, Virginia and I pay the taxes that maintain this park. WE DO NOT WANT YOU HERE. FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE TO GO. HOW MUCH CLEARER CAN WE BE?

I believe we all have the right to own guns, but along with rights come responsibilities. Where is the responsibility on your part? Just because you lost an election you think you have the right to "muster" outside the capital? The Constitution works when the majority elects a President and he takes office without a lot of sore losers threatening him and his party with gun violence. You got to vote, didn't you? That's all we get. Sometimes we have to wait 4 or 8 years to be really happy again. But most of us deal with it. Sore losers and crybabies don't deal that well with it. You obviously do not understand the Constitution, and you display incredible disrespect for it, and for your fellow citizens. How dare you threaten the duly elected president or the majority who elected him? We are a nation of laws. There are laws and institutions to help protect the Constitution; how dare the losers of an election assume that they have the right or the numbers to step in under that premise and threaten to nullify an election? Unfortunately you think you can do it because you have guns. But as the rebels found out back in the 1860's, (including all my ancestors!) the U.S. Military stays with the White House. Let's hope it never comes to that again.I voted for Obama, and YOU DO NOT INTIMIDATE ME!

quite typical from the liberal ( Socialist ) moron. a perfect example of why our country is in the state it is in. There obviously is no need to even think about trying to intimidate your likes you know whatyour kind are trying to do to this god loving country.. otherwise you would not be spewing that kind of poison. we exercise our constitutional rights something you should practice more often better yet take a real history lesson have someone read the constitution to you a constitutionalists that way you hear it at least accurately!! get out of denial other wise you awaking you think is bad now will be worse. your ineligible individual whom sits in my fore fathers house in Washington has used 39 different ss numbers is about to be tried and judged for the highest treason in our land. i would sell my ass to be there at that verdict and when it is handed down.. your kind make me sick! Your kind do not deserve the liberties so many have invested so much into and died for. your kind are willing to give up constitutional rights and civil liberties for security you in my opinion do not deserve nothing. where in the constitution does it say that the government is responsible for your safety? Constitutional and moral Americans are the reason why the country has managed to stay in tack to this date thank god for Americans like ourselves who are standing up to this dictatorship and tyranny.80% of Americans do not trust and like the direction this illegal administration is taking this country unconstitutionally.your kind have a serious mental issues and a hell of a reality check and awakening coming. its called restoring the constitution... it will be done! DON'T TREAD ON ME.. It is past hand holding time..You can continue to like to yourself to justify your conscious in the end the people will stand and prove your kind are a bigger minority than you realize.. Bring on more Grand Juries!

Our constitutional rights have been trampled on. The elected officials feel guilty what they are doing, and acting like they don't hear us, (We the people). And anyone who sets back and lets them take away our rights as they are trying to do, you yourself must be one of them. How dare you even consider yourself an American citizen. People came from around the world to come here because this is the land of the free, not supressed by people like their gov'ts. And now our gov't is doing the same, how dare you side with the ones who is trying to destroy this country. Your ancestors would side with us McGee. God bless OUR country and OUR people.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

On the efficacy of passive resistance in the face of the collectivist beast. . .

Had the Japanese got as far as India, Gandhi's theories of "passive resistance" would have floated down the Ganges River with his bayoneted, beheaded carcass. -- Mike Vanderboegh.

In the future . . .

When the histories are written, “National Rifle Association” will be cross-referenced with “Judenrat.” -- Mike Vanderboegh to Sebastian at "Snowflakes in Hell"

"Smash the bloody mirror."

If you find yourself through the looking glass, where the verities of the world you knew and loved no longer apply, there is only one thing to do. Knock the Red Queen on her ass, turn around, and smash the bloody mirror. -- Mike Vanderboegh

From Kurt Hoffman over at Armed and Safe.

"I believe that being despised by the despicable is as good as being admired by the admirable."

From long experience myself, I can only say, "You betcha."

"Only cowards dare cringe."

The fears of man are many. He fears the shadow of death and the closed doors of the future. He is afraid for his friends and for his sons and of the specter of tomorrow. All his life's journey he walks in the lonely corridors of his controlled fears, if he is a man. For only fools will strut, and only cowards dare cringe. -- James Warner Bellah, "Spanish Man's Grave" in Reveille, Curtis Publishing, 1947.

"We fight an enemy that never sleeps."

"As our enemies work bit by bit to deconstruct, we must work bit by bit to REconstruct. Be mindful where we should be. Set goals. We fight an enemy that never sleeps. We must learn to sleep less." -- Mike H. at What McAuliffe Said

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
